New Atheism would be more accurately named FauxAtheism: They don't deny the existence of the supernatural, they just worship devil spirits and call it "Earth science" or environmentalism. When these spiritualists get around to hooking " the planet/Gaia" up to an EKG & showing me "her" heartbeat, pricking "her" with a telephone pole and bringing forth blood &/ getting their messiah David Eick to walk on water, maybe they can legitimately sell it as "science".

Since atheists don't believe in the christian god, they must believe in devils, Satan, etc. In a fundy's black-and-white world, that's the only way they can conceive of people who don't believe in christianity.

That's also why fundies insist on this lie despite being corrected over and over again; it's the only possible explanation for non-christians.

Atheism = no god, no-god-belief.
Earth Science = eighth grade science; Rocks, tides, some astronomy
Environmentalism = keeping the Earth able to sustain the growing population of fools it currently supports.

That's funny; a tree is alive, but it doesn't have blood, or a heartbeat. I suspect Ted is simply afraid of people having any sort of respect for anything that isn't human. The idea of people having pets must be equally disturbing to him.

"On a side note, my Bearded Dragon Lizzy is very amused by the idea of the Royal Family being lizards, although she says that the one called Charles is too ugly, and therefore certainly a mammal."

Curious is it not, that David Icke's 'Shapeshifting Lizardmen Rule The World' (which is clearly right out of the "Weekly World News" school of journalism) claim only came to pass after the airing of the TV series "V" (just as the whole 'Man didn't land on the Moon' BS arose just after the release in 1978 - only nine years after Armstrong's 'One Small Step For Man' - of the film "Capricorn One").

Why, one would think - if one were of an equally Conspiracy Theoric bent - that they sound like... coincidences, do they not?!

Ah, but then, to quote Yuuko the Dimensional Witch in the manga (by CLAMP) "xxxHOLiC":

'There is no such thing as Coincidence in this world. There is only Hitsuzen' ('Inevitability')

The 'Inevitability' of certain saddos, who - with too much time on their hands (and twisted ways of thinking) - start putting two and two together, and get Graham's Number.

"When these spiritualists get around to hooking 'the planet/Gaia' up to an EKG & showing me 'her' heartbeat, pricking 'her' with a telephone pole and bringing forth blood".

WHAT?!

Final Fantasy VII does not represent our planet. Environmentalism means taking care of the environment because we're turning the world into a shithole in which you truly deserve to live (as opposed to the rest of the sane people).

Y'know, I was once roommates with a girl named Gaia. We could convince her to get hooked up to an EKG and prick her to bring forth blood.Wonder what this fundiot would say then? LOL
Hi everyone! I'm new here.:D
